I have genital herpies. If I don't have an outbreak and a woman is giving me oral sex and she swallows, can I give her the herpies?

Yes, you can give her herpes this way. It is not about whether she swallows or not, but the fact that she is giving you unprotected oral sex that matters. Any skin-to-skin contact can transmit herpes. Though it is not as fun, you could consider using a condom during oral sex and that would reduce the chances of infecting your partner orally.

Yes. The above posters are right. Whether the girl swallows is not relevant, this is a virus transmitted by skin-to-skin contact and particularly by contact with an active sore - to a lesser extent, through asymptomatic shedding.

Having said this, which type of herpes do you have? If you have type 2, it is in fact unlikely that the girl would get oral herpes from your genitals, particularly if she has type 1 already orally (or type 2 herself genitally) - type 2 prefers the genitals.

If you have type 1, the chances of her getting orally infected are higher as type 1 prefers the mouth.

since it could be skin to skin....would a handjob transmit herpes? without her having cuts or ne thing like that...like me giving it to her...just curiosity...i dont know if i have it....but i dont wanna give off something....

No otherwise everyone in the world would have herpes ;-)

It's not skin to skin, any skin - it's the skin of the affected area coming into contact with the skin in an area which would be likely to have the virus transmitted to it:

More rarely transmission can happen via the hands, but only where a person has touched their sore and then almost immediately touched a partner's mouth or genitals. You should always wash your hands after touching a herpes sore, as soap and water readily deactivates the virus.
